It's been a long, wild ride, everyone! Yet, now it's over. The first round of Castle Whimsical is now over and I want everyone to show appreciation for everyone else. A mod can only do so much for a game since it's truly the players that make the game great.

Post a comment, love on the other players. You all deserve it.

Actually no I should probably say a thing

THIS GAME WAS REAL FUN I'm so, so, so glad I apped Allen even though I had no idea what I was doing because I literally canon reviewed right before game start!! My energy levels were a lil low here and there because pandemicbrain but overall I still had a lovely experience getting amazing CR with everyone and meeting so many new faces, thank you for the great game ♥

[strictura]

GOD DANI...... our sad library kids were so good together... I hadn't been sure what to expect with Allen compared to some of the other options you considered, but I'm so glad you apped him, especially since the setting ended up so weirdly relevant to him!!

Having him around was really good for Nagisa, I think... like, having someone to keep safe (and actually succeeding at it!) was good for him to focus on and was a good motivator throughout the game, but he was also just someone who was easy for him to talk to and who got him to open up more than I expected. I photoshopped this smiling icon specifically for Allen and I'm pretty sure he's the only one who ever got it, lmao.

also thank you for permanently damaging my heart with that one thread at the end of the trial, jesus

The few interactions Seven and Allen had were so!! sweet!! I'm glad I got to play in this game with you!

[octopups]

I'm sorry I'm so terrible at CR but all of Amdi's interactions with Allen were so wonderful, similar sad good boy brainwaves.

[prescience]

DANI WAAAAAA Allen was such a great character and I loved the mix of sweetness, vulnerability, resolve, and just-barely-contained absolutely mcfucking losing it that you managed to strike with him. It was so cool and interesting to play off him with a character who is rarely disarmed by anyone, because he is just naturally such a disarming kid. He really went through a lot, but he both deserved and earned the ending he got. On a writing level, I really admire how well you move threads forward and so quickly. Just how much you can pack into a brief tag is super cool and a very rare skill. And your engagement! Threading with you is always an enjoyable experience and you jump RIGHT INTO the game at all times. You were a lovely presence to have in the game and I'm so glad it was with Allen.

Good Alice. Very, very good Alice.

Thank you for playing with me!

[ballooncaged]

Allen was. Absolutely adorable. I really loved the way you would get across that he wasn't necessarily saying everything he was thinking, or agreeing with everything. There was a mix of negative emotions with an active and earnest presence. Also wow Dani your backtag game is off the charts. Thank you!!

[littlebratziska]

I had so little with Allen, because I had so little in general, but that little was real good. I didn't expect her to decide to adopt him but i GUESS SHE DID and that was real good too!

[undershadow]

ALLEN IS A BABY ANGEL WHO HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG IN HIS LIFE I say, nudging the door to endless trauma shut gently with my foot... but no, really. Allen was a joy to interact with and served such a pivotal role in the cast, including with Lena! I honestly don't know that she would have revealed as much backstory as she did to anyone else, even with the regains. Also, totally seconding Shay in that you have an immense talent for writing short tags that still convey a ton and keep the thread moving at the same time. You got so much of his personality and behaviors through while still keeping him (what I've gotta assume is) true to his horror game silent protag characterization and also never giving too much away at once, which made him that much more engaging to interact with.

And don't let anyone say that I don't appreciate everyone in this game.

Re: Yue | Alice, Nursery Rhyme, etc | Mod

[littlebratziska]

YOU DID A REAL GOOD JOB HERE

Re: Yue | Alice, Nursery Rhyme, etc | Mod

[seventhlittlemonster]

You did such a great job!!

[strictura]

Thank you for all your hard work and for working with me on figuring out how to make the motivation for my case work!! I'm really glad I had the opportunity to play here!

[octopups]

Thank you for letting me pepper you with ludicrous question and half-baked terrible ideas and also just in general for being a superhuman modly person.

[xxxx_me]

Yueeee!!

You did really well for your first murdergame modding experience imo! There were definitely bumps and such here and there but you kept it trucking along and you were patient with us and our occasionally explosive plans. I'm honestly impressed it all ran as smoothly as it did for your first time, and I'm really looking forward to the next game to see what improvements you make now that you've had a chance to see what works and what didn't.

And of course on the IC front, Allen's CR with Alice was amazing and I'm still laughing at how appropriate he was for this setting. I had the idea that the game would be fairytale based and that would probably be fun with him, but I had no idea the extent of How Relevant all this would be to him, so I'm excited to keep him puttering around in the setting as we see what else is planned with the other kings!

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY thank you for giving me bitty murder, I have wanted this for so long ♥

[battlestations]

I will give you more detailed positive game feedback when the HMD goes up, but for now, let me just say that you had a really strong first game and thank you LOTS for enabling so much of my stupid bullshit, I thought you were just the right amount of flexible without being a pushover. Your chat moderation was above average for murdergame discords I've been in. You were also willing to try things and decide on the fly whether or not they were good ideas going forward. All in all I was very impressed how well you were doing both as a new mod and as a mod running a game on your own.

thank you for blessing this wild thing with bailif privileges

shay | oriko/????? | madoka but make it ugly

[prescience]

i will get everyone individually as they come in as well, but i just wanted to start this off by saying thank you everyone for such a fun experience! you really made me glad that this was my first murdergame in almost three years. i hope to see some of you again next time, especially since i'll be joining the team as a co-mod after unofficially serving as yue's emotional support shay this time around. thank you for playing with me and i look forward to doing it again in the future!

Re: shay | oriko/????? | madoka but make it ugly

[seventhlittlemonster]

There wasn't much interaction between us two but in the end, it was such positive CR! Thanks for jumpstarting Seven's actually positive character development before his untimely death the next chapter

eric | nagisa

[strictura]

Thank you so, so much to everyone for making this game happen and for playing with me! I played Nagisa for a few months way back when his game first came out six years ago, but I was really self conscious about playing him and never did much. I've been wanting to try him again ever since then in something where I could actually do a proper character arc for him, and I'm so glad it ended up working out as well as it did here -- playing him felt great this time, and both the premise of the game and the other characters here let me do a lot of things with him that I don't think I could have done otherwise. I really appreciate having had this opportunity! ♥

Re: eric | nagisa

[seventhlittlemonster]

Glad we made the meanest most spiteful death for Seven together!

Memento Mori | Seven | Seven Little Monsters

[seventhlittlemonster]

This was the very first murdergame I've ever participated in and honestly... I dunno how I'll be able to top it.

I bumped and fumbled around sometimes, but when I find my footing, I find it dammit! It was so fun to play with you all and honestly, there were moments where I genuinely cried.

I can't wait to play in another game sometime with what I learned from this one!

[rhododendronhoney]

You did great for your first time! I loved Cori and Seven's CR until it went careening off a cliff, but I'm really glad they got to make up in deadland.

Lenga | Mizuki | AI: The Somnium Files

[ballooncaged]

THANKS SO MUCH TO THIS GAME AND EVERYONE! I have had a really fun experience! Mizuki was a very different character type for me and I was so glad that people supported her story (and supported me as I experienced a decline in my health). I really hope my threads were as fun for everyone else that it was for me, and since the game is continuing I am sure its future is bright.

Re: Lenga | Mizuki | AI: The Somnium Files

[seventhlittlemonster]

DID YOU KNOW IM FUCKING LOVE SEVEN AND MIZUKI'S CR LIKE SO MUCH????

Deciding she was the small big sister to my huge little brother was the best

Gray | Coriander Bliss | Pokemon OC

[rhododendronhoney]

This was my first time being the first culprit and I'm so glad that ended up setting the tone for the rest of the game

Re: Gray | Coriander Bliss | Pokemon OC

[seventhlittlemonster]

Happy to see Seven's perception of the world just. fracture in that case.

Spinel | Amdi | I'm Pretty Sure No One Under 25 Has Read A Fire Upon The Deep But They Should

[octopups]

Oh my god this was my literal first murdergame and I spent an embarrassing amount of time being low-grade confused but, oh my god. It was so fun and I love all of you.

I am so glad I ended up just fucking going for it and playing such a weird character and I am especially glad that so many people liked him???? I'm sorry Amdi spent so much time swinging wildly between too saccharine and too whump and I'm sorry if his CR was spotty sometimes but he was a joy to play with everyone.

Re: Spinel | Amdi | I'm Pretty Sure No One Under 25 Has Read A Fire Upon The Deep But They Should

[seventhlittlemonster]

IT WAS SEROTONIN INTERACTING WITH HIM!!!

Des | Nigel 'Numbuh One' Uno | Codename: Kids Next Door

[battlestations]

I had a great time in this game! I could see the love and effort that went into all of the cases and each member of the cast was so unique and fun, everyone brought their own energy to it. I felt like I was able to make some entertaining CR, and a good mix of positive and negative, which was what I was hoping for by apping a character like Numbuh One. He really got to be in his element here, and I couldn't have pulled that off without so many of you playing along. Thank you, everyone!

Re: Des | Nigel 'Numbuh One' Uno | Codename: Kids Next Door

[seventhlittlemonster]

SEVEN BECOMING NUMBAH SEVEN MADE THIS GAME TOTALLY WORTH IT

leah | lena de spell (and also magica for five seconds) | ducktales

[undershadow]

God, this was such a delight. c: I reserved Lena by, like, the seat of my pants, and was really pleasantly surprised by how comfortable I got playing her here, and almost all of that is down to how fun and engaging everyone was! Thank you all for playing with me, plowing through the Halloween massacre, and tolerating all this duck nonsense.

[ballooncaged]

LENA WAS. SO FUN AND SO COOL. Really glad the cast could get rounded out with an edgy teen/tween character and that we could have fun snarky threads. You also worked SO HARD on stuff like extra materials and I'm really impressed.

Andrusi - Dark Dream - Yes! Precure 5 Movie: Longass Subtitle

[imozon]

...god I'm so bad at love memes I HAD A FUN TIME DESPITE MY CONSTANT STATE OF CONFUSION AND DISTRACTION

[xxxx_me]

Andiiiiii, Dark Dream was super cute and I'm perpetually /chinhands at the CR she got, like with Franziska and Alice in particular. I still know 0 precure things but I'm glad that she gets a happy end with new friends and a new life outside of her like 33 hours in canon.... cries....
